Pros

Its the best place i have ever worked. By working hard and showing how much i care for the animals and my co-workers i have been rewarded with promotion after promotion. In less then a year and a half i worked my way up from bather all the way to A.S.M.. Way to many people cry about not getting paid enough. For a guy with no college education or management experience i would say my pay is well over what they could've paid me! Petco is a great place to work you just have to have passion to work there.

Cons

Payroll is the only downside.

Pros

- Wonderful people under the Sr. Director level - Dogs in the office - Brand name carries weight on your resume

Cons

- Sr. Directors and above are largely nepotism hires rather than merit-based promotions - Leadership team is toxic and disrespectful, and that tone trickles down to other senior leaders - Sexism shows up repeatedly, with women being asked to pick up the work of men without additional pay. Or men being promoted over women due to favoritism and not merit. - Nearly every employee I worked with was disengaged and functioning out of fear of layoffs rather than job satisfaction (layoffs happen multiple times a year) - The company's declining position also makes it harder to land your next role, since a recent Petco title now reads as coming from a struggling brand
